The Watering down of Hardcore

from Total Crust Violence by Filthpact

/

lyrics

Is it pretentious to use phrases like “our culture” when discussing the punk/hardcore scene? Is there such a thing as a “scene”? We hear phrases like “the punk scene”, “the hardcore scene”, “how long have you been in the scene?”, “support your scene”. It's an intangible concept, but it must exist because so many people seem to believe in its existence. If we can call this conglomeration of bands, writers, artists and idealists a “scene”, then the “scene” must send a message to the parasite record companies and pimp media moguls: We can function without you, you cannot function without us. Being independent has kept us strong and remains the only serious threat to the status quo of the music business. This scene is not in place to make agents and managers rich, this scene is in place to question everything we have been force fed by radio, TV and Hollywood – Chris Bickel.
